I visited the Lock Ridge Furnace Museum for the first time on Wednesday June 12, 2019 after discovering it that morning on Google Maps. Thank you Google Maps! I had never even heard of it before that day. There must be many more gems in the Lehigh Valley that I am not aware of. Well anyway, the park did not disappoint. The museum itself was closed as well as the public restroom building. I think they are open on the weekends. I’ll have to make a point to return during business house.

The paths are paved which is nice so you don’t have to track mud back into your car. I don’t have a dog but there was a person walking theirs and he did a clean up after his dog.

The museum itself is very nice as well make sure to go in and learn some history about the local area and the old...

You can either dress it up or leave it natural and dealing with Lehigh County is pretty easy. I just wish I hadn't lived in another County because the cost was more expensive.
The only downside to weddings is that you must have a battery-operated sound system or generator (a little noisy) as there is no electrical service. Otherwise, I would definitely refer this place to anyone for a...
